The motion of a gas-liquid interface along a solid wall is influenced by the capillary forces resulting from the interface's shape and its interaction with the solid, where it forms a dynamic contact angle. Capillary models play a significant role in the management of cryogenic propellants in space, where surface tension dominates the behaviour of gas-liquid interfaces. Yet, most empirical models have been derived in configurations dominated by viscous forces. In this study, we experimentally investigate the wetting of a low-viscosity, highly wetting fluid in a reduced gravity environment. Our setup consisted of a transparent and diverging U-tube in which capillary forces sustain the liquid motion. Combining Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and high-speed backlighting visualization, the experimental campaign allowed for measuring the interface evolution and the velocity field within the liquid under varying gravity levels. This work reports on the preliminary results from the image velocimetry and shows that the velocity profile within the tube is close to parabolic until a short distance from the interface. Nevertheless, classic 1D models for capillary rise face difficulties reproducing the interface dynamics, suggesting that the treatment of the surface tension in these problems must be reviewed.

The present work deals with the cuttings transport in eccentric directional wellbore based on CFD simulation using ANSYS Fluent. Oil and gas industries have shifted to directional drilling for excessive oil exploration. Improper borehole cleaning leads to severe drilling problems that lead to permanent loss of the drilling site. The effect of wellbore inclination and eccentricity on cutting transport is investigated for the slurry inlet velocity, rotation of drillpipe and cuttings size. The considered flow is two-phase flow primary phase is CMC-bentonite solution and secondary phase is cuttings of different sizes. The Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model has been implemented for flow through annulus along with RNG k-ε mixture turbulence model. The important findings related to effect of eccentricity and borehole inclination on cuttings transport has been explored for various drilling parameters.

In this work several computational approaches are tested for the two-phase simulation of the ELUBSYS bearing chamber in the high-speed regime - a 4-equation Eulerian multi-fluid model, a steady-state Eulerian Integral Thin Film (EITF) approach, a Discrete Parcel Method (DPM) approach and a simplified EITF-DPM coupled approach. While computationally expensive, the multi-fluid model captured the global liquid dynamics in the chamber and predicted that most of the oil is in the form of a thin film that flows on the stationary walls. The much more cost-efficient EITF approach achieved accurate results for the oil thickness distribution at the counter-current region but did not account for the large amounts of oil flowing out through the top vent. The DPM approach was used to assess the dispersed phase dynamics in both one-way and two-way coupling configurations, outlining a significant influence of the latter on the gas phase dynamics. Finally, the coupled EITF-DPM approach was able to overcome some of the limitations observed by its individual counterparts by predicting a continuous film throughout the chamber circumference and a higher vent outflow, while still retaining most of the expected film distribution characteristics in the bearing chamber.
